Jean-Pierre Guilbault is a micropaleontology consultant specializing on Quaternary foraminifera.  He has finished his M. Sc. at the Université de Montreal in 1975 with a memoir on Ordovician calcareous algae and his Ph. D. at Aarhus Universitet in 1980 with a thesis on Quaternary glacial foraminifera and ecostratigraphy.  After a brief stay at Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Halifax, he spent 4 years in the oil industry in Calgary and then came back to his native Montreal where he since acts as a consultant.  His work has centered on the west coast of Canada, predominantly on the glacial marine Quaternary, but also on Holocene marsh environments because of the information they supply on paleoseismicity.  More recently, he got interested in modern sponge reefs of the British Columbia continental shelf.  Jean-Pierre has been doing some occasional work in other regions of Canada and is now beginning to work on material from the coastal plain of China with a group at the University of Nanjing.
